Hello 19th September
September 19, 2008
Hello I hope the sun is shining wherever you are it is here it certainly helps to lift your spirits. I am still making Christmas cards but I aim to take a little break for something different soon.
My mum goes to an OAPs day every other Tuesday and they do a raffle nothing much but my mum is always asking me if I have anything to give her for the raffle. I never thought about my cards but this weekend mum stayed with me and asked if I would give some of my Christmas cards for her to take to the OAPs. Of course I said yes and I had some small sqare cards that I had made so I also created a deep box to put them in and added a flora doodle on the top.
Well mum phoned this morning to say that the person who won them was over the moon and I have been asked for 2 more boxes of Christmas cards for the next raffle. I know I have not made any money but at least it has given someone some pleasure and saved them a bit of money rather than buying from the shops.
Maybe this will be a regular thing and I could give mum a box of assorted cards for the raffle every other week. It will also reduce my stash somewhat and I know they will be appreciated by the elderly.
Well I am off to finish my projects but I have some more scanning to do and hopefully be updating my slide show soon.
Thanks again to all my Sheenie friends who visit my site and anyone else having a look.
Bye for now

That’s really good Lorraine, it’s nice to get that sort of feedback and you never know you might get some cash orders out of it

It’s a lovely idea Lorraine – as Beryl says, you may get some paid orders from them but they’re also a lovely way for you to donate to the raffle without it having to cost you a fortune
